If it weren't for the French, we might well have lost the
Revolutionary War.

Just goes to show what could happen to us.

We might have remained British?

I really do not understand the undercurrent of hatred for the French. I
used to think it was because the French and the French government were
arrogant, but in the last eight years, we've certain surpassed them in
that regard.

I'm not a fan of "modern" France, but I sure appreciate French history
and culture over the centuries. I don't like the haute cuisine, either,
but some of the regional food is just wonderful.
